Many Republicans, even those of us on the board, disagree with Coulter’s immigration policy proposals. This is why she was asked to (and did) speak on other topics. But to label Coulter a “proselytizer of hate” and deride her as a “racist” is unjustified, unsubstantiated and inappropriate. To suggest, given the context of the event and the topic of the evening, that the HRC “is guilty of bringing hate to Harvard” is ridiculous, unless one regards protection of the unborn, judicial restraint...

But generic drugmakers and other opponents of BMS' effort worry that a measure favoring the company could still be slipped in during the House-Senate conference...
This summer I had the fortune of sitting next to an attorney for the record label Universal on a transcontinental flight. The lawyer told me something about the industry that I had never understood. While the record labels are ambivalent to online distribution, the real resistance in the industry comes from the performing rights organizations like the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers and Broadcast Music, Inc. These organizations manage the royalty collection and distribution for “public performances” of music, like the placement of a song on a movie soundtrack...
